Theft-DeterrenVAlarm
Sysl
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system. Once armed, the system will sound the horn
and flash the parking lamps if the vehicle is broken into.
Shock Sensor
To adjust, remove the label covering the adjustment
knob on the sensor and adjust
as desired. Turn clockwise
to increase sensitivity and turn counterclockwise to
decrease sensitivity. The shock sensor is ignored
by the
alarm system when the ignition is on, when the hatch is
open, when the alarm is disarmed, when customized
to
be ignored and for five seconds after the horn sounds an
alarm or chirp. The shock sensor is ignored after
triggering three full alarms until the system is rearmed.
Coupe Convertible
The shock sensor is what triggers the alarm when it
detects
a blow to your vehicle. It is located over the
right rear wheelhouse near the spare tire in the hatch
area. There are two levels
of alarms via the shock
sensor: Two horn blasts and parking lamp flashes for
non-threatening blows to the vehicle and
a full two
minute alarm for harder blows to the vehicle. Its
sensitivity can be adjusted if more
or less sensitivity is
desired. (Note: If sensitivity is increased too much, it
may give false alarms caused by gusts
of wind or other
natural events that may shake the vehicle).

the holes. Push forward on the larger part of the latch
until it clicks.
Do not force the latch. If it is hard to
lock, the top is not properly aligned.
If your vehicle suffers a power loss, such as a dead
battery, you can still raise
the top manually by rotating
the valve in the left side of the trunk. Open the trunk and
find
the tab along the left side trim
panel. Lift up the tab and turn the valve clockwise to
release the hydraulic pressure. Turn the ignition key to
the LOCK position. You can now raise or lower your
top
manually. Be sure to close the valve after installing your
top
so you can raise or lower it electrically later.
